Built on world-renowned high-performance SYSTIMAX® copper and fiber connectivity, SYSTIMAX Intelligent Infrastructure Solutions are more than just hardware – they are comprehensive, fully supported solutions that have been engineered to help you document, manage and monitor your physical network infrastructure.

SYSTIMAX iPatch System Manager Infrastructure Operations Software correlates this vision with information from networking equipment, IP endpoints and other systems to provide Knowledge of how the network layer devices map to the physical layer.

This combination of hardware and software – of vision and knowledge – gives you unprecedented Control of your physical layer infrastructure. You will have what you need for a real-time, comprehensive view of your physical network infrastructure to document, plan and execute changes.

Backed by the SYSTIMAX Intelligent Infrastructure Solutions research, development and support teams and CommScope’sCertified iPatch BusinessPartners, you will have the support you need to design, install, configure and maintain an Intelligent Infrastructure Solution.

Features and Benefits

Here is what you can expect from SYSTIMAX Intelligent Infrastructure Solutions:

Features• Accurate documentation of the end-to-end connectivity between networked devices• Real-time tracking of changes to physical layer connections• Alerts on unauthorized or unplanned changes• Notification of impacts to critical circuits• Discovery of network devices, with tracking of physical locations• Service provisioning and electronic work orders for guided deployment in data centers or office environments

Control systems link your iPatch intelligent panels with the System Manager software. Each rack of iPatch intelligent panels is equipped with a control system—an iPatch Panel Manager or Rack Manager Plus — which monitors the status of every port. The control system sends connectivity updates to System Manager to ensure that you always have a real-time updated database of connectivity information. SYSTIMAX control systems also provide technicians with a local user interface. To aid in tracing existing connections, the display provides end-to-end connectivityinformation, including the location of patch cords as well as the devices connected on either end of the circuit.

This wealth of information far surpasses the level of insight provided by traditional port or cord labels. In addition, control systems provide the added benefit of automatic updates when changes occur in the patchingfield or at the endpoints of a circuit. The iPatch Control System enhances guided patching operations by displaying work orders generated by your System Manager software. A local display makes steps in the work order simple, is playing the ports to be connected or disconnected, as well as providing visual and audible feedback on the progress of that step. LEDs on iPatch panels aid the process, too, lighting up to signal each patching change.

For unguided operations, the iPatch Control System can be used to confirm changes made on iPatch panels. All connectivity changes in iPatch panels are automatically detected by the control system and forwarded on to iPatchSystem Manager, where alerts for unauthorized changes can be forwarded to systems administrators.With the iPatch Control System operating as a reporting system for your Intelligent Infrastructure Solutions, you gain the Vision and Knowledge you need to take Control of your network.
